+title: Funding for the Development and Launch of DAPY (DEEP APY)
+author: Empyreal
+---
+
+## Abstract
+
+
+
+This TIP allocates funding to **Empyreal** to design, develop, audit, and launch
+**DAPY (DEEP APY)** — a consumer-facing stable yield application powered by Talos.
+
+
+
+---
+
+## Motivation
+
+Talos is a highly capable execution and strategy engine, but it lacks a consumer-facing product that converts its infrastructure into real usage, revenue, and TVL growth. At the same time, retail users lack access to transparent, low-volatility, delta-neutral yield that is both understandable and safe.
+
+DAPY (DEEP APY) solves both problems.
+
+By packaging Talos’s AI-managed hedging and funding strategies into a simple, single-asset stablecoin vault, DAPY provides predictable yield with downside protections, while creating a scalable on-chain product that drives demand for Talos, generates protocol revenue, and strengthens $T’s economic role.
+
+DAPY is the missing bridge between Talos’s backend engine and mainstream user adoption.
+
+---
+
+## Specifications
+**DAPY (DEEP APY)** is a stable yield vault powered by Talos, utilizing an AI-managed delta-hedged funding strategy engineered to produce consistent, low volatility returns with downside protection.
+
+The strategy integrates:
+- Delta neutral funding rate capture
+- Hedged LP exposure in correlated pairs
+- Automated rebalancing to maintain neutral exposure
+- Dynamic routing to highest funding environments
+- Continuous risk adjusted optimization and failsafe countermeasures
+
+
+With our estimation models; pre-deployment strategy performance has demonstrated ~15-25% APR from funding capture alone via a lightly leveraged delta neutral position, earning revenue from funding rates:
+
+Short Side Exposure:
+
+
+Long Side Exposure:
+
+
+
+Likewise, while combining hedged LP positioning yields a potential for upwards of ~40% APR:
+
+
+DAPY incorporates a comprehensive automated risk framework designed to protect user principal and maintain strategy stability under adverse market conditions. Talos continuously monitors position health, volatility shifts, and liquidity conditions, executing predefined safeguards without manual intervention.
+
+Core protections include:
+- **Automated position closures** when predefined risk thresholds are breached
+- **Dynamic stop-loss systems** to cap downside exposure
+- **Position resizing and deleveraging** when nearing liquidation corridors
+- **Liquidity rebalancing** to maintain optimal hedge coverage
+- **Flash-crash response logic**, including rapid auto-buys and hedge reconstruction during extreme price dislocations
+
+These measures operate continuously to ensure the vault remains protected against sudden market shocks, liquidity disruptions, and atypical volatility events, maintaining strategy integrity and user safety at all times.
+
+**DAPY (DEEP APY)** will target a stable 10% APR, with the Talos treasury providing an insured performance floor. If realized returns fall below 10%, Talos covers the difference up to the insured limit. In exchange for underwriting this performance guarantee, Talos receives 75% of yield generated above the 10% baseline. Deposits will initially be capped at $5m TVL, with priority access for $T holders. This cap aligns the insured obligation—$500k annually—with what the Talos treasury can confidently support, reinforcing $T’s economic utility and creating natural demand for the token.
+
+To ensure capital safety, Talos will employ a multilayered risk framework designed to minimize exposure to adverse events, including protocol failures or unexpected market dislocations. While delta-neutral structures significantly reduce directional market risk, Talos will supplement the strategy with additional protections such as protocol-level insurance, venue diversification, automated stop-loss triggers, and predefined contingency rules for extreme scenarios. These protections will be formalized over the next two months and presented in a finalized risk policy at launch, ensuring the guarantee is responsibly backed by robust safeguards.
+
+Fee Structure:
+- No user fees: no management, deposit, withdrawal
+- 75% of performance above 10% is returned to the Talos treasury as protocol revenue
+- Performance revenue is allocated toward $T token buybacks to drive token value, with a portion retained in the Talos treasury to support sustained long-term growth.
+
+**DAPY (DEEP APY)** offers a simplified, single-asset stablecoin deposit interface with automated execution, risk management, and rebalancing. The UX mirrors traditional savings flows: deposit stablecoins, earn predictable yield, no allocation decisions required.
+
+Core Attributes:
+- AI-driven allocation and hedging
+- Low directional risk yield mechanics
+- Treasury backed performance floor
+- Zero fee model
+- Automated risk and execution systems
+- Consumer grade access to institutional style strategy infrastructure
+
+**DAPY (DEEP APY)** serves as a machine-governed yield instrument, providing institutional execution packaged for mainstream use.
